The sunshine yellow in this joyful spring skirt and blouse from Mimikri made me think of the joyful and exuberant song “On the Sunny Side of the Street.”  This is the yellow of sunshine and springtime.   That song is particularly interesting in that many believe it was written about the experience of “passing” – the practice by some light-skinned blacks of passing as white to increase their opportunities.

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Can’t you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I’m not afraid…this rover’s crossed over

That verse is considered the plainest evidence that this was about passing – the blues the music of black America. Some musicians have even changed it to passed over to make it clearer.

The jacket is from Cover Girl, the jewelry from 69 and the fun, flowing hair from 69.

If I never had a cent
I’d be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I’m not afraid… this rover has crossed over

The skin is the fabulous Elizabeth from Infinity and it's open now so you can get your demos and take a look at this luscious skin on your own shape.

Now if I never made one cent
I’ll still be rich as Rockefeller
There will be gold dust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
